Avanti! continues his series of political concerts, and in September he will perform for the first time in a long time at his home in the Cable Factory. The theme of the concert takes a humorous but serious look at the relationship between the welfare society and art. “Welfare Art-Poor Welfare Art” plays at the Merikaapel Hall on Tuesday 20 September at 19:00.
Conducted by conductor Jaakko Kuusisto , Avant’s soloists include singers Johanna Rusanen, Petri Bäckström and Jaakko Kortekangas.
The concert asks whether art can help when the welfare state is in a bad way. Culture is being cut, but the art of care is being invested in. Can welfare music be played in a minor key, should it be harmless and simple? Or is it independent and free art that is welfare?
